Trust is the new differentiator in class action payouts.
Class members, class counsel, and the courts are paying closer attention to how settlement money actually moves. Talli was built for that level of scrutiny - compliant custody of funds, clear pricing, disclosed payout methods, and a complete record of where every dollar went. No surprises, for you or anyone reviewing the file.
Payouts used to be the boring part of a settlement. Not anymore.
The bar for what counts as an acceptable distribution has moved. What was standard practice a few years ago is now the kind of thing that gets a second look - from class counsel, from the court, and from claimants themselves.
01
"Standard fees" don't hold up the way they used to
Arrangements that were never fully spelled out to anyone are increasingly being asked to speak for themselves. If your vendor's economics aren't something you could put in front of the court without a second thought, that's worth knowing before someone else asks.
02
What a claimant is owed and what they actually receive aren't always the same number
Payout methods with fine print - fees, expirations, conditions - quietly narrow the gap between "distributed" and "received." That gap gets noticed.
03
Low take-up isn't just a metric anymore
When claimants don't collect, the question used to be "why." Increasingly, it's "who benefited." A settlement with strong take-up doesn't invite that question.
04
A distribution record should be able to answer for itself
When counsel or the court wants to understand exactly how a distribution ran - every method, every dollar, every outcome - that answer should already exist, not need to be reconstructed under a deadline.
How Talli Solves it
A payout record you'd hand over without a second thought.
Payment optionality & digital delivery
Claimants choose how they're paid - ACH, PayPal, Venmo, prepaid card, gift card, or a paper check for those who need one. Every option is disclosed clearly upfront. More claimants get paid in a form they'll actually use, which is what drives take-up.
KYC & identity verification
Every claimant verified before funds move, protecting the class and the administrator at the exact point most exposed to fraud.
Real-time payment visibility
Claimants track their own payment status; your team and stakeholders sees the entire distribution live — which method every dollar went out through, and why. Fewer support tickets, and a clear answer any time someone asks for a status update.
Consolidated exception management
Failed deliveries and unresponsive claimants sit in one queue with documented outreach, so "reasonable efforts" is a record you can point to, not just a claim you're making.
Compliance & regulatory reporting
1099 generation, payment-level audit trails, and full post-distribution accountings as standard output - ready whenever it's asked for, not assembled under deadline.
Why Talli
Built for a market thats paying closer attention.
Claimants paid in days, not weeks
Once a distribution plan is approved, sending payment is hours of setup — not weeks of provisioning and check runs.
Clear pricing, nothing left to explain later
What you see is what it costs. There's no arrangement to untangle later if someone asks how the numbers work.
Scale any distribution without adding headcount
A 100,000-claimant distribution takes the same team as a 1,000-claimant one.
Higher take-up, less left unresolved
More claimants actually get paid, in a form they'll use - which means less sitting unclaimed at the end of a distribution.
